Product life Cycle:
Types of production The type of production method you use depends on: -The nature of the product - The materials it’s made from - The resources available - The number of products that have to be made Task Find out about the following types of production: Job Production Batch Production Line Production Cell Production Flow Production
What type of production would be suitable for manufacturing these products? Job Batch Line Cell Flow
Group Task: Demonstrate the following types of production through the manufacture of paper cubes. Group 1 – Batch production Group 2 – Line production Group 3 – Cell production Group 4 – Job production Take some time to organise your group first so that everyone knows what they are doing and then start production.

Task: Find out the advantages and disadvantages of Sequential and Concurrent engineering in production and new product development
Sequential Engineering: Advantages - brings control to complex projects Disadvantages - no department or worker has an overview of the whole process -Little communication between departments - Lack of interest and concern among employees on issues such as quality control and product management - slow process resulting in lost sales Concurrent Engineering: Advantages - saves development and manufacturing time - More interaction between departments and workers -Teamwork and productivity is improved as people are working closer together - operator fatigue is reduced, eliminating human error - more responsibility for workers- machine maintenance/ quality control - more interesting for workers - production lines can be changed quickly Disadvantages - more difficult to control
